Corina P. D. Brussaard is a leading scientist for Antarctic viral ecology [1] [2] working for the Royal Institute of Sea Research (NIOZ) and is a Special Professor of Viral Ecology at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). [3] [4]
A marine virus is more likely to infect cooccurring organisms, those that live in the same region the virus lives in. [130] Therefore, biogeography is an important factor in a virion's ability to infect.
Heterosigma akashiwo virus (HaV) has been suggested for use as a microbial agent to prevent the recurrence of toxic red tides produced by this algal species. [5] Phycodnaviridae cause death and lysis of freshwater and marine algal species, liberating organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus into the water, providing nutrients for the microbial ...

Organic Lake virophage (OLV) is a double-stranded DNA virophage (a virus that requires the presence of another virus to replicate itself and in so doing limits the ability of the other virus to replicate). It was detected metagenomically in samples from Organic Lake, Antarctica. [1]
The "Kill the Winner" hypothesis relates to Lotka-Volterra equations. Viral lysis, which disproportionately targets the "winners" of marine ecosystems.. The "Kill the Winner" hypothesis (KtW) is an ecological model of population growth involving prokaryotes, viruses and protozoans that links trophic interactions to biogeochemistry. [1]
Alison Murray is an American microbial ecologist and Antarctic researcher, best known for studying the diversity, ecology and biogeography of Antarctic marine plankton dynamics of the plankton over the annual cycle; and her work demonstrating the existence of microbial life within an ice-sealed Antarctic lake (Lake Vida). [1]
Viral dynamics is a field of applied mathematics concerned with describing the progression of viral infections within a host organism. [1] It employs a family of mathematical models that describe changes over time in the populations of cells targeted by the virus and the viral load. These equations may also track competition between different ...
